More details can be found at this press release link Right now, the details have not been laid down yet, but I have accepted an offer from literary agent and author Chamein Canton ( Down That Aisle in Style: A Wedding Guide for Full Figured Women ) to join a plus-sized themed tour later this summer ...

I think they are very good outlines. When I had surgery in March, I was permitted to bring my mask and headgear, but the hospital provided the machine in the recovery room and after my surgery as well.

Happy Easter everyone!

now onto your choice of surgeries.. you picked the lap band.. any particular reasons why? i was always leaning more towards Roux-En-Y for some reason...

I remember when I first got my machine, my four year old orange tabby g...

I don't touch the one on my cable box for that reason...lol. My luck, like if I would touch anything on the CPAP, I'd blow it up too!

ROFL!!!! Good point! But you know, speaking of all things smelly, I can't even tell if the cats "used" the box during the night until I take my mask off in the morning. Sometimes, it isn't so bad...others, it would wake the dead and I wished I left the mask ON!

Credit: ASAA Message Boards Think a CPAP machine only has one use? Others have thought of more creative ways to make their machines more fun: Cooling your wife off when she has a hot flash. Drying finger nail polish. Blow drying the bird after its bath. Inflating balloons. Turning the bathtub into a...

Spread the word on sleep apnea, of course.

And the correct dates are February 23 through March 16.

It's my name..and the first initial of my last name.

Not creative, I know, but easy to remember.
